Bumper Repairs

[R1cho]

Well as you all know my bumper had a fight with the ground about clearance and lost so today i started repairs on it.

some of the damage

after i took off the wire i put on yesterday to hold it on it just fell straight off again lol lol

i used some of kamsins favourit stuff to hold the crack together

then fibre glassed the inside

while i was waiting for the fibre glass to dry i found some of the peaks in my wishbone (the things the mud is on is a bash plate off a frontera)

fibre glassed over all the scrapes on there

and over the front of the big crack

found another crack so fibreglassed from both sides

i put the now working again indicators back in place

and re-attatched bumper

now tomorrow i will sand it all down to a smooth finish and repaint, you will never know it had and lost a fight in the peaks :augie

Mine's made from the back of an old tumble dryer :O)

don't cut it so high in the middle then, the plastic won't protect whats under it anyway.

Bash plate my arse :doh The standard thing will keep the grass out but you land your truck on a rock or drive into a stump and it'll be a pain to get orff.
You need 'king huge 6mm plus steel to call it a bash plate, till then it's a drip[ tray :lol
